If you're desperate to nurse some poorly souls in a foreign country and Sierra Leone is your sthole of choice then that's fine. Only don't be a stupid virus spreading and bring the damn thing back with you.
I'm amazed they let the person fly back. Actually it's not that much of a shock given the amount of stupid people in decision making roles.goldblum said:

Could not agree more,OK so they say this virus is a fluid Virus, so lets say you don't feel well and you sneeze? You have your passport in your hand which has been contaminated by your sneeze, you then hand this to the bloke at passport control who then scratches his nose or whatever and so the virus spreads! I don't see anyone at passport control wearing gloves. If Doctors or Helpers want to go and work in these places, there should be at least a 4 week quarantine period where these people should be held and not allowed to mingle with any locals, go to church etc.
They are playing with fire!

How would wearing gloves prevent the transfer of the virus from the passport to 'his nose or whatever'?JonRB said:

Threads that have the word 'official' in them, as in 'The Official XXXX Thread'
Who's made it official? Have Haymarket given it some personal endorsement or something?
It's just something that has become a tradition for threads where we would probably otherwise get duplicates, most notably the F1 race threads. It simply means "this is the one we've all decided to use and duplicates will be closed down". Often the first person to create the post creates it with the word "official" in the subject and others know to look for one so named before creating a new one. Likewise, if there are duplicates then people gravitate to the one with "official" in the title. Who's made it official? Have Haymarket given it some personal endorsement or something?
Nobody confers "official" status on it - it's just convention / tradition.
(I just thought you might be less unreasonably annoyed by it if you knew the reason)
This nurse Pauline Cafferkey with ebola, has just cost the GB taxpayer £ millions, police escort to airport, special flight to London , further police escort to hospital. If this disease affected animals eg. rabies or foot+mouth we have an immediate ban on transporting animals from infected areas/countries so why not do the same with humans. Seems to me the only way to contain the virus.
